Dr Guo is a very caring, personable physician and dedicated to helping his patients. I was very apprehensive about my symptoms for which I sought care. He listened to my complaint, thoroughly examined my eyes and assessed what was going on. He then reassured me that I did the right thing to come in and it was not something bad going on but could be easily helped by drops several times a day. He was very patient and took time to allay my concerns with great compassion and never trivialized anything. It is so important that patients feel comfortable interacting with their providers! Dr Guo always makes me feel welcomed and that he cares about me. He is a very kind man and not afraid to be humorous (humor helps break the tension) yet he is an extremely intelligent person and very serious about his work. I hope Riverside realizes and appreciates that Dr. Guo is an asset [...].
